The current state of society was founded on the premise that humanity was never meant to live forever, that all of us had an invisible expiry date printed on us. What if though, there was a global, simultaneous paradigm shift that each and every one of us living on this rock we call Earth (hurtling through space no less) was born to live forever?
Would you go to your job in the morning with the realisation that you were going to do this work forever?
Would you put up with all the injustice going on in the world?
Would you still treat everyone the same, knowing you would see them everyday, until eternity's end?
Today's media focuses on portraying living fast and dying young as the in-thing to do, and I don't blame them. We're 'taught' from a young age (and when I say taught, I mean having it shoved into our naive young minds) that to succeed in life: we have to go through school all the way up to university to get a degree -> this gets us a nice job which we use to -> support our family that we make at some point, and we work at our job until -> we are no longer able to support our family, and -> the kids are educated, we pass away, and the silly circle continues.
Just take the time to consider this paradigm shift - what if each human life, specifically, yours was actually built to live past this century, and the next, and the next.. Take an hour to do this. At the end of this practice, would you really proceed through your life doing the same things you did before reading this article?
